Crypto AG
A. W. Farmer made this Official Information request to New Zealand Security Intelligence Service
The request was refused by New Zealand Security Intelligence Service.
From: A. W. Farmer
Dear New Zealand Security Intelligence Service,
Please provide me with any advice/memos/or reports that mention Crypto AG, or it's alternatives "Thesaurus" or "Rubicon," from October 2019 to April 2020.
If a large volume, I am particularly interested in any advice that was prepared for any Minister of the Crown, AND any internal communication which addresses reputational harm that could be caused by the revelation that Crypto AG was co-owned by the CIA.
Yours faithfully,
A. W. Farmer
